Hey, I remember this show!
Teaminess! Banter! Ohana! Carguments! "Book 'em, Danno!" Stunt casting of celebrities from other fields who can't actually act! I used to watch a show just like this last season and it was awesome.
I've missed the interaction between the Fab Four so much. Kono wants Danny to be happy. Chin wants to give Danny relationship advice. Steve wants Danny to clean his house. And in amongst all the glorious teaminess, there was still room for Max, Mamo, Kamekona, Grace, and Gaby. We even got the dog back! Okay, so it was off-camera, but still.
This is probably the most screen time Steve and Danny have had together in one episode all season. Why TPTB wanted to waste that screen chemistry I will never know. And was it a coincidence that this episode is probably the most consistently happy Steve has been all season? He was amused by Danny's rants, relationship with Gaby, and swimming (Danny swims!), and he was thrilled to use the tear gas he apparently keeps in Danny's car now. He even spread the love to the rest of the team during dinner, and he got to butt into Danny's personal life some more. Best line?
Danny: "I'm happy when I'm not around you."
Steve: "That is also a lie. You love me."
It was the off-hand way Steve said it, like there was never any doubt, that made me squee in a range only endangered marine animals could hear. I also loved this exchange:
Sgt. Lukela: "What is he doing?"
Danny: "Undoubtedly something insane. You might want to pull your guys off the house."
It was the casual way Danny said it coupled with the panicked way all the other cops bugged out that sent me to my happy fangirl place. I haven't smiled this much since Steve and Danny watched Enemy Mine.
Dear Show,
More of this please. Lots more.
Much love,
Sandy (no, the other one)

Dramatic eps with angst for Danny and or Steve are fine but it's good to see them happy for a change so we can all be happy too!
